The prime root cause of most wars to date is a struggle over resources: mainly ownership of land, but Natural Resources (including water) have also been common causes.

There are of course many different reasons for any given war, and resource acquisition (or protection) may not have been a prime reason for any specific war, but practically all of them have it as at least a secondary cause.
